My partner and I have been exploring our sexuality and spirituality. Recently when we were fucking, I asked them to look me in the eyes. We’ve been working on vocalizing our needs and this is something I’ve longed for. When we connected it was intense and pleasurable. After when we were chatting they mentioned that eye contact is hard for them and that it didn’t help that I had “vampire” eyes. They said my pupils were very dilated and freaked them out. It doesn’t turn me off much, just wondering if others had a similar experience. Have vampire eyes freaked out your partner? Figured I was just very turned on and it’s just a symptom that isn’t experienced regularly which may freak out a partner.

Your instincts are probably correct: You were turned on and it's entirely normal:

Thanks. That’s reassuring. I had done some searching and just wanted community re assuring to see if it’s real or not

I think most people struggle with prolonged eye contact in general. When I hear vampire eyes I think shine in the dark which would be creepy lol. I think that is probably normal for being really horny and into the moment. Lots of random, unintentional stuff can happen that you don’t notice.
